I also found some very nice original black interior parts over the past few years and finally got around to installing them along with a nice shallow walnut wheel. I also installed a nice original 1969 shifter assembly but put a Day 2 Hurst knob in black on it. I didn't replace the faded carpet to keep with the patina look. Here's the before and after.

We ended up taking the car to Cruisin Ocean City MD this past week and had a blast. The car received some great reception. Everyone loved it even with it's ratty paint.

I love the new look of your Camaro, perfect Day 2.

Are those 15x8 or 15x10's?

Wow, that looks plain bad. Reminds me of high school days.

Car looks just right! By the way, I went back through the thread and saw the topper of your wedding cake. Priceless.
I showed that to my wife, and she laughed! Well done!

Looks great! How big is the gap between snubber and the front of the leaf spring though, looks to be hanging down?

They do look a little low. Do you have wedges in there? I have several sets of Lakewoods that are original with &quot;patina&quot;.......the new look.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes, the traction bars are sitting a little low. I didn't have any wedges when I installed them. I'll remedy that as soon as I get some free time.

Matt, looks great. What tires and sizes do you have on the front and rear? 15x8 rears, what are the fronts? Looks killer.

The perfect stance and wheel and tire combination for a '69 Camaro. Takes me back to my high school days. It's a shame so many of these cars have gone the &quot;pro touring&quot; route.

Had the car out to the in law's for Christmas dinner. Probably one of the last nice days for the year (50 degrees). Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Finally found the correct Rosewood steering wheel needed for an 05A car. I had an early shallow walnut on it before this. Thanks to member Jeff Miller for the cleanup and mild restoration on the wheel as it had some smoke damage. Wheel has some wear on it but it's perfect for this car.

It never bothered me before, being black, but it has started to bother me. I'll probably end up painting it at some point.

LI Corvette Supply makes an argent paint that works real well for this... I used it on mine.
